Re: Intermittent wipers

I got my bits out of an '89 F150, best $7.00 purchase ever:) IIRC, if your slick came with the 2 speed wipers, you can use the existing motor. **Be careful hunting E-series Van as donor, as I believe they switched to the wiper controls being in the turn signal stalk much earlier than the F series di...

WOW! That's way too nice to Off-Road now!! So, I hope Gaylon posts soon, interested to read all about the trucks former life. based on the colour, I'm guessing it may have been a Forrestry or Parks truck?

Nice work Gaylon!

Re: Slick Crew Cab Question

AFAIK, any F100 Crew's were coachbuilt. Crew Frames were specific to each series (at least for F250 & F350 , the "Heavy" trucks may use the same frame over several series) See the Factory Sales Brochure in the link below, and look @ the table on the last page, it has frame rail height,...

Re: bed floors from evolutionary rides

They do have a FB page, and if you do a search on FTE ('61-'66 forum & '67-'72 forum), as well as Fordification, somewhere in there you will find a thread which shows one guy doing the install. I have heard rumblings that AMD (Auto Metal Direct) is working on Slick & Bump floors, but only th...

Re: Said to be a rare unibody 4x4

Well, I'm guessing it's sitting on a dentside 4x4 chassis ?, as it's got a two bolt (per side) front bumper, the door tag is definitely not OEM Ford, and the VIN listed seems to have an extra character, but just reading the volumes of disclaimers in the ebay listing would be enough to scare me away ...

Yup, they cancelled 19 titles, and at least a couple of them are ones I read:(

They will miss my $$, eventually, because I will not pay for digital versions of the magazines

Re: Elec.brake switch installed

Gracias, Senor Jones!

I spent some time looking on O'Reiley's site, and narrowed it down to three likely suspects, and SLS40 was my best guess:)

Guess confirmed!! :wink:

Re: Elec.brake switch installed

Mr: Jones: Nice work!! But am I the only one wondering what the part number for that switch is? A pic of the PN sticker on the box would be most helpful:) Cheers! James This is the switch from O’Rielly’s about $15.00 https://i.postimg.cc/76g8sfKT/3-C6-BB350-A268-4-C42-B815-62-C1-FB67-A803.jpg
